In a terrible accident at Gomoa Dominase Junction in the Gomoa East District of the Central region, a driver's mate died on the spot and two other people are in critical condition.
On Wednesday afternoon, a Kia Rhino with the license plate number WR-566-16 and a tipper truck with the license plate number GS-6823-17 were in an accident.
Eyewitnesses told Adom News that the Kia Rhino was coming from the Gomoa Dominase township in the direction of the Kasoa-Cape Coast Highway.
When the car got to a certain part of the road, the engine cut out. The driver got out to fix it, but he didn't look for oncoming cars as he tried to get back on the road.
The driver of the tipper truck, who was going from Accra to Cape Coast, crashed into the Kia, killing the driver's friend.
Some of the people who helped get the people out of the car said that they were taken to the Winneba Trauma and Specialist Hospital to get care.
Nana Kwao Adofrakye, who is the Omankrado of the Gomoa Akyampim Traditional Council, has asked President Nana Akufo-Addo and the Minister of Roads and Highways to make the Kasoa-Cape Coast Highway a two-lane road. This highway has been a dangerous place for accidents over the years.
